Hey there, I recently applied for a conductor position in Battle Creek. How do the jobs work out of there, as in where do they go and how long are trip times, hotel layovers, time at home, etc...?
Also, how exactly does the extraboard off days work?
I have recent (as in still employed) conductor experience with another class 1, so does anyone know if my health and welfare bennies stay with me or if I will have to get that 4 month/1year waiting period? When I switched from my first class 1 to my most recent class 1, there was no gap in coverage, so would there be any now?
Lastly, what does it look like for furloughing in the district? Every year or not at all?
Thanks for any answers you can give!
